In February, Shuri Network steering group member Adjoa Nsiah-Jennings and alumni member Doris Hayford were invited to share their experience of being part of the alumni community and how to ‘life as you rise’.
Here’s Doris’s reflection on her journey since joining the fellowship and experience of being part of this event.
A year has passed since I completed the Shuri Network Digital Fellowship, and my career and personal growth have been truly transformative. 6 months after completing the fellowship, I was successfully appointed as a Professional Advisor Midwife in Digital for the RCM. A role I never imagined at the start of my midwifery journey, and I know the Shuri Network has been instrumental in unlocking my knowledge, skills, and confidence, paving the way for this achievement.
As a proud member of the Shuri Network Alumni, I now have the opportunity to give back. The empowerment and confidence I gained have shaped my journey, and I now have the chance to share that same encouragement and motivation, inspiring others. This extends beyond the digital community to my colleagues, both junior and senior, encouraging them to step outside their comfort zones and explore new opportunities.
Recently, I had the privilege of sharing my Shuri experience at the London SDN Conference. It was a moment of reflection; an opportunity to truly appreciate my career journey, recognising how both the milestones and roadblocks have played a pivotal role in shaping me today. Moving forward, I look forward to the continued growth with the Shuri Network Alumni, reinforcing the power of resilience, development, and a supportive community.
